Well, depending on how you're playing and what bankroll management you use does depend on the kind of swings you have.

Also what games you're playing can vary the swings quite a lot too.

For me, starting out with playing 1c/2c on Pokerstars with $50 is enough for me to never go broke with my bankroll management. My swings usually only ever consist of a few dollars because I only ever invest $1.20 on each table, and leave when it goes above $2 when the blinds reach me (or sooner).

Example: I had a pretty bad run the other night with QQ and AA flopping top set on almost both tables simutaniously. I was called basically all-in on both flops with flush draws which both hit. I lost $1.35 and $1.64 respectively. So, around $3 was basically as big of a swing as I can think of with my BR management.

However if you're playing 2c/5c and sit down at the table with the max ($5) and don't leave 'till you feel your session is over, then yeah, $15 isn't much of a swing.
